In Toronto after all of the bars have closed their doors, Vomit Comets run through the arteries of the city scooping up passengers for a mere $2 fare home. Our subway stops running at some point between 1 and 2 am and transportation after hours is otherwise scarce, unless you want to pay for a cab.

These buses are generally full of people reeking of alcohol, however the atmosphere is usually giddy and passengers tend to be more social with one another unless they are feeling green. If that is the case, they can be seen with their heads hanging out the windows or sprawled out across the back seat of the bus and should not be approached.

This affectionate name for the Blue Night service has become so popular with Torontonians that even the drivers of the routes (Namely the Yonge and Bloor-Danforth buses) use the name to describe it. If a driver asks you to watch your step, you really should.
